Logistics.
Consumption habits, consumer needs and technologies are changing, evolving and progressing rapidly ; so Balarama has chosen to take responsibility regarding the environmental impact of our operations and logistics.
Transport and Logistics
Our company activity is based on the exchange of goods and services, and our “tailor-made” approach makes it necessary for us to give an appropriate solution to each customer. This consequently results in substantial logistics flows in both the supply chain to our factory and to our customers.
